Linux kernel source tree

In presence of a lot of small weight tasks like sched_idle tasks, normal or high weight tasks can see their ideal runtime (sched_slice) to increase to hundreds ms whereas it normally stays below sysctl_sched_latency. 2 normal tasks running on a CPU will have a max sched_slice of 12ms (half of the sched_period). This means that they will make progress every sysctl_sched_latency period. If we now add 1000 idle tasks on the CPU, the sched_period becomes 3006 ms and the ideal runtime of the normal tasks becomes 609 ms. It will even become 1500ms if the idle tasks belongs to an idle cgroup. This means that the scheduler will look for picking another waiting task after 609ms running time (1500ms respectively). The idle tasks change significantly the way the 2 normal tasks interleave their running time slot whereas they should have a small impact. Such long sched_slice can delay significantly the release of resources as the tasks can wait hundreds of ms before the next running slot just because of idle tasks queued on the rq. Cap the ideal_runtime to sysctl_sched_latency to make sure that tasks will regularly make progress and will not be significantly impacted by idle/background tasks queued on the rq.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
